From its early MSLA work with the Phenom series to the belt-free precision of the Magneto X, Hong Kong-based manufacturer Peopoly has consistently pushed at the boundaries of what accessible, performance-driven 3D printing can look like. With the Giga 800, it now sets its sights on extrusion-based AM: Fused Granular Fabrication at industrial scale.
The Giga 800 is an FGF printer with an 800×800×800mm build volume and a starting price of $15,000, a figure that stands in sharp contrast to the six-figure systems that have historically defined this segment.
By feeding raw industrial pellets directly into a custom dual-zone heating screw extruder, the machine achieves a maximum flow rate of 3kg of material per hour, enabling manufacturers to consolidate multi-part assemblies into single overnight jobs while reducing material costs by up to 90% versus traditional FDM filament.
“Our goal was to take the desktop ease of use that everyone is accustomed to and scale it up to industrial sizes,” said a Peopoly spokesperson. “The Giga 800 is the next step in the manufacturing revolution.”
Mechanically, Peopoly has replaced conventional stepper motors with a closed-loop servo CoreXY motion system to handle the inertia demands of high-speed large-format printing, ensuring positional accuracy and print consistency around the clock.
On the materials side, an exclusive partnership with Siraya Tech provides pre-configured, validated profiles across a broad range of engineering polymers, lowering the barrier to reliable production from day one.
Perhaps most notably for industrial adopters, the Giga 800 runs on open-source Klipper firmware and operates fully air-gap ready with no mandatory internet connection and no cloud data transfer. For sectors such as defence, aerospace, and advanced R&D, where proprietary design security is non-negotiable, this is a meaningful differentiator.
The Giga 800 is now available to commercial partners through an Early Adopter program. Whether it can convert industrial buyers at scale remains to be seen but Peopoly has, once again, forced the conversation.
